Interactive S tu den t Noteb ook Guidelines
What is the purpose of the Interactive Notebook?
The purpose of the Interactive Student Notebook is to enable you to be a creative, independent thinker and
writer. Interactive notebooks will be used for class notes as well as for other activities in which you will be
asked to express your own ideas and process the information presented in class.
What materials do I need?
• Spiral notebook-white paper,
college-ruled, at least 100 pages
• Pencil
• Blue and black pens
• Glue stick and scissors
• Colored pens and pencils
• Highlighters
• Zipper pouch
What goes in my notebook?
Everything we do in class. We will use graphically organized visuals to help you take notes, structuring them so
that key ideas are clear and supported by examPles from class activities, discussion, or reading assignments.
Your notebook will also be used for a variety of different activities to preview learning and process new content
to demonstrate understanding. This is where you will record and express all of your well-considered ideas.
How can I earn an A on my notebook?
A student who expects to earn an A- or higher grade on the notebook will be one who keeps a complete, neat
notebook, produces quality work, and has taken the time to consistently extend learning beyond classroom
assignments. You will show this by including "Making Connections" entries, unassigned work that you complete
in addition to our regular class assignments.
What do you mean by "Making Connections"?
For "Making Connections," you place articles, pictures, or cartoons (from magazines, newspapers, or the
Internet) into your notebook, along with a 4--5 sentence summary and reflection on how the materials relate to
our topic of study. Youmight also include original drawings. "Making Connections" entries should sharpen
(rather than clutter)' the visual appearance of your notebook.
How will my notebook be graded?
Notebooks will be graded on thoroughness, quality, organization, and visual appearance. You will know the
value of each major notebook assignment when it is given. About 25 percent of your grade for the course will be
based on the notebook.
An important part of your notebook is its visual appearance. Your notebook should be NEAT! Each entry should
be title and dated. Your artistic talent should be visible throughout the notebook.
Notebooks will be checked periodically for completeness-usually about every 3-4 weeks, except for the first
few weeks of class, when they will be checked more regularly. All class notes and notebook assignments should
be included, even for days you were absent.
What happens if I am absent?If you are absent, it is your responsibility to obtain notebook assignments from a classmate or from the
Interactive Teacher Notebook.
Share this handout with your parent or guardian. When both of you have read this information, please sign
